The third rugby league-related track to get into the iTunes top 60 in the last couple of months after Hull FC's Old Faithful and Hull KR's A Little Respect. If a relative minority sport like rugby league can get this interest then if the big football clubs ever get back into releasing singles then there's potential for some really big hits and potential for a few charities to benefit

Since the Global Release Day is all about protecting the album market, I'm not sure why the singles chart *has* to change as well. OA/OS singles are now and presumably in the future would be released any time during the week. Back in 86/87 the five-days old R1 Top 40 countdown was already being made to look staid by the Network Chart, it would be so much worse now. Under the new schedule the iTunes chart on Friday evening would give a good indication of the following week's chart (as is the case on a Sunday now) but R1 wouldn't be playing that chart in full until 9 days later? The Sunday top 40 show just couldn't stay in its current slot, Friday evening would restrict on the dance programming, I guess a top 10 reveal in Friday drive time with the full top 40 on Saturday morning might be a good fit option if the singles chart compilation day has to move.

The independents spokesman in the Music Week article doesn't like the idea, but surely they can stick to a Monday release if they wanted to, and get some benefit from being the only new physical releases on a Monday, and get some chart position advantage assuming the charts are still compiled on a Sunday-Saturday basis. Shops that sell books, games, DVDs and CDs will be used to stocking different new releases on different days during the week so could cope with having new music batches on both Mondays and Fridays? I quite like the chart unpredictability you'd get from Friday releases in a Sunday-Saturday chart week.

One unfortunate conclusion I am coming to is that the purity of a singles sales chart which I have enjoyed following for 30 years is going to become unviable, so either streams/airplay etc come in, or it remains a purchased sales chart and looks as ridiculously out of touch as the French singles chart was when it kept on excluding downloads even with minuscule physical sales.

When I was thinking of revenue I was only considering physical sales, downloads and streams but the other elements you mention make it intriguing- the airplay revenue is probably trackable and calculable, PPS type public plays less so. Most of the licensing revenue from film use, samples etc would be commercially private deals but that would certainly be one easy but costly way for the big media conglomerates to rig the chart!

I presume spotify, deezer etc pay a fixed price per stream to the relevant record label, rather than a fraction of each user's monthly fee depending on how many streams that individual user has "consumed", and it would be that fixed price that would be incorporated into the main chart? Don't know how robust a system could be against fixing, but there could be a limit on the number of countable streams from a single IP address? And as streaming really takes off, it might require several hundred thousand plays a week to seriously rig the chart. I wouldn't be in favour of it, but I think at some point the singles chart will need to be a revenue chart, like the movies box office chart rather than a unit sales chart.

They did do Somewhere Only We Know, and as usual a good version of it, but it was only shown on the red button extras after the main BBC1 show Btw, I saw that Keane had a guitarist on stage with them, when did they abandon the no-guitars policy?
